INCLUDES: Tower Hobbies .25 cu in (4.1cc) Car Engine with Pull Starter, Glow
            Plug, Exhaust Gasket and instruction sheet

REQUIRES  Fuel: 2-cycle glow fuel with 20% nitromethane, 16% lubricant-
            Most of the fuels we carry meet or exceed the lubricant content
            required for optimum performance and maximum engine life. In the
            past, the conventional lubricant content used in fuel was 18%. But
            with new advanced technologies, fuels like Red Alert and O'Donnell
            for example, have a better quality of lubricants even though the
            percentages of lubricant content are lower. These high-tech
            lubricants provide exceptional cooling and protection.
          NOTE; Do not use a fuel with a nitro content higher than 20%

COMMENTS: Some notes on Slide Valve and Rotary Carburetors:
            Rotary carbs offer a larger response in the middle of the power
            band. This works well for off-road applications when throttle
            response must be varied.
            Slide Valve carbs provide greater response at the beginning and end
            of the power band. This works well for on-road and racing
            applications for fast take-offs and high speed.

                                                                   jxs 03/14/07
